Update: we've just spotted a third page of this mysterious file on Twitter, @thefirerises. Fans of The Dark Knight Rises will remember that that was a name associated with the first picture of Bane, unveiled gradually a few months back, so we can now consider it confirmed that this is all a Nolan mind-game to keep us amused. This third document leads in turn to this Operation Early Bird website, which should go live in a few hours. Check back then to see what's in store...

...

Some days at Empire Towers are not filled with the arrival of secret, faked CIA documents that carry with them an air of promise and mystery. And then there are days like today, where the image you see below shows up in our inbox.

Now, unfortunately, our contact was very specific that we can’t tell you what this transcript is exactly. Who gave it to us? It was sent from an encrypted server with no possibility of tracing it (we have a very high tech system here that involves a divining rod and a hamster in a wheel). It was passed to us exclusively as part of a clue to an upcoming event. Which specific event? Can’t say.

But we did hit Google and searched the name listed in the transcript and came up with another document, one posted to Wired’s blog yesterday. Make of that what you will, and let the speculation begin!

According to the website, the 'first come, first served' aspect relates to getting the tickets on the website. It does say if you are unable to attend you should let them know. In their FAQ section they say that they only have set ticket allocations to give out, and once it's gone it's gone! I guess if there are still tickets available after the weekend, then chances are that something is up, but I would look for these to 'sell out' soon! More

Before you get yourself all worked up about next week, read the small print at the bottom.... its first come, first serve.... something tells me that there is NOT a limited number of tickets and that a lot of people will show up!! More

I've always enjoyed them - you get a little bit of immersion in the universe of the film you're excited to see, and I love the thrill of the treasure hunt, finding and breaking codes and clues, always looking for the next breadcrumb. It's a buzz. Plus, occasionally they lead to free shit, and everyone loves free shit.
e too, absolutely loved the TDK virals. Thought they were a stroke of genius. In fact, sowasred2012 your username rings a bell, I'm sure I was conferrin More

It's part of the viral campaign for The Dark Knight Rises and concerns Dr Leonid Pavel, played by Alon Aboutboul. There is also a mock up of a photocopied wanted poster to go with it.
Do they not think we're looking forward to this movie enough, that we'd forget if they didn't pull these type of stunts? More

I've never found these viral campaigns and teasers exciting, in the end the movie will still come out and unlocking a dimly lit photo of Batman's knee won't change your viewing experience... I just don't understand how people get so worked up over these things. More

I looked the I.P. address up for 223.225.2355.889 (the numbers from the top and bottom of the two documents) you get a location near York, but it says the domain is not supported. I have no idea if this means anything, and barely know what you can do with that information. More

Okay I take back my comment that it couldn't be TDKR. I really do want it to be TDKR btw. This stuff always make me so anxious to see the movie I just go crazy. I know, I'm nuts. Plus it seems kind of silly to go viral with things if they only just started shooting Skyfall. So any anticipation build right now would be useless once the movie's actually out.
There are actors on the IMDB cast list that don't have a character name yet so that could be why you can't find the name anywhere else bu More

I had thatn thought re-ip address, and the other image from empire has 2355-889 at the top.
Doesnt do anything though unfortunately!
One popular theory was that you take both documents and use the black bars together, perhaps to show words, or create a new image or barcode. But they could easily have been trolls too.. More

The page on Wired has this at the bottom:
223.255
Looks like the first half of an IP address to me, but nothing on this transcript is working for me as the second half - anyone see anything I don't? Or maybe I'm looking for something that isn't there - just find it difficult to believe we'd be given a breadcrumb that led nowhere! More

I'm guessing Skyfall, Bond. Because Nolan I think would only use excisting characters from the DC comics universe and if you google the name Pavel, there aren't any hits, apart from links to this document about a hundred times. And if it is an existing character you would be able to find at least one or two pages about the character. So I'm guessing it's Bond. More

Have a look at this. Seems to all be about Bane and his origin.

Can one of you guys linking to this script please explain what it has to do with the stuff above? Someone referred to the document up top as "belonging" to the script, though I've run searches through the script and none of the dialogue matches up in any way. What are you guys talking about? More

If you zoom out as far as you can on word pad with the full script link for plyscripts.com/scripts/ClassDismissedHDrtf2.rtf,ooks like a wave form. Anyone talented enough to turn it into a .wav and give it a listen?
thought the same!
Only read through a few of the pages, but it seems to be a short screenplay-type-affair about the Earth narrowly missing being destroyed/some sort of American government corruption. Didn't get the full gist though, because it's 107 pag More

If you go to www.simplyscripts.com/scripts/ClassDismissedHDrtf2.rtf and let it download (and presuming you have Word or equivalent) it opens a lengthy document. At first sight it looks like scribble, but change the font on the text and its a transcript of some kind More
